Outsourced Compliance Officer Services
Leadership, Oversight, and Compliance Without the Overhead
Today’s regulatory landscape is complex — and growing more demanding. Organizations are expected to meet evolving standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, GLBA, NIST, ISO 27001, and others, all while demonstrating operational maturity. At BNO CPA, our Outsourced Compliance Officer service provides strategic oversight, program management, and ongoing advisory without the need to hire full-time.
What is an Outsourced Compliance Officer?
An outsourced compliance officer (OCO) functions as an embedded extension of your leadership team — guiding security and privacy efforts, supporting audits, maintaining policies, and driving accountability across your business.
Our service is ideal for organizations that:
-
Need executive-level compliance leadership but not full-time headcount
-
Are scaling fast and want to "get it right" early
-
Are subject to third-party audits, regulatory exams, or customer security reviews
-
Lack internal expertise in compliance frameworks and control mapping
